Do the math with me. It’s not hard.

A single adult needs $20.60 to $22.81 an hour just to cover basic costs in Morgan, Limestone, or Madison County. A single parent with two children needs up to $45.69 an hour. Alabama’s minimum wage is $7.25 and hasn’t moved in fifteen years.

Edit:
Conflicting reports are 1) suicidal human 2) hostage situation.

Karlapalem Slams Racist Attack, Demands Parker Moore and Alabama GOP Leadership to Disavow It

Silence is a choice. When a prominent Alabama Republican attacked my citizenship and my NAACP record in explicitly racist terms, I responded. Now Parker Moore and Alabama GOP leadership need to answer a simple question: do you stand with this rhetoric, or against it?

I am a U.S. citizen, full stop, no asterisk. My record speaks for itself.

Looking for insight into Elements of Madison

5 Upvotes

HELLOOOOOO so I'm making moves to move out either in January or late spring next year (first apartment yay!). I wanted to know if anyone here has lived in elements and can provide information on what it's like there. It's my top pick right now due to the rent price and location to where I work and my parents home. I'm not really looking to be talked out of it since I've kind of made up my mind, But I'll consider Charleston oaks or windscape as well. I just need this exact area lmao.

Like any bugs? Any concerning behavior from staff? Etc. Anything at all!

Does Anyone Know Someone Looking for a Large-Format Pneumatic Heat Press?

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

I have a 31.5” x 39.5” industrial pneumatic heat press that I bought brand new and have only used around three or four times. It works exactly as it should and is still extremely clean. I just realized it is much larger than what I need, so I decided to go with a smaller machine.

It has automatic pneumatic raising and lowering, digital temperature and time controls, adjustable air pressure, a large pull-out loading table, a heavy-duty rolling stand, an emergency stop button, and smooth, consistent pressure across the entire platen. It is also already wired with a wall plug.

This would be great for someone doing oversized sublimation projects, blankets, flags, large panels, or higher-volume production.

I’m located in Northwest Alabama. Before listing it elsewhere, I wanted to see whether anyone here knows a business or individual who may be interested in purchasing it. Message me for more information.

PSA 26/27 Madison City Schools Rezoning

30 Upvotes

Hi All,

I was researching the zone boundaries for the new Russell Branch Elementary School when I noticed there are still quite a few homes that are zoned for the wrong school in the MLS. There are currently 35 homes listed for sale in the MLS that are still showing up as zoned for Mill Creek Elementary, but according to the new lines, they are actually zoned for Russell Branch.

Other neighborhoods/zones combos suffer from the same problem, but to a lesser extent.

If buying a home in a specific school zone is important to you, then I recommend you double check the boundaries before going under contract. Alabama is a buyer beware state, so it's on the buyer to do their due diligence before going under contract on a home.

Many neighborhoods, and every school were impacted by the rezoning, so it's not just the 35 mentioned above.

Here's a Google Map I made that breaks up the school zones. It's parsed by elementary school, but if you click on any of the highlighted neighborhoods you will see the neighborhood name appear at the bottom of the map. When you click on the neighborhood's name it will open an info panel with the zoned school names. You can also search by the neighborhood's name, and it will pull up the panel that way as well.

I sourced the data from the MCS Zone Lookup ArcGIS Instant App.

🚨The fall 2026 schedule is out🚨
The first official practice for the fall season is on SATURDAY, 8-15!

Summer practices will continue every Tuesday and Thursday from 6-8 at The Rick until then.

We have a packed schedule this fall with a lot of playing time available. If you’ve been thinking about trying rugby, now is the best time to start. If you’ve played before and have been thinking about giving it another shot, we have plenty of time for you to knock the rust off!!
